"It's too often that we hear about capitalism at its worst. PCV is all about capitalism at its very best!"

PCV's President Beth Sirull spoke these words to a sold out crowd at Hotel Nikko for PCV's Annual Luncheon this past month.

PCV creates economic opportunities in lower-income communities across the United States by investing capital and resources in small businesses. We would like to thank everyone who attended and helped celebrate the ways that PCV is achieving this, both on-the-ground and at a policy level. Read more about PCV's work in a blog written by Heidi Krauel Patel, President of New Island Capital and a member of our esteemed Impact Investing panel.

We invite you to check out the video above, which shows PCV impact in action. Enjoy!
